The Euro is no Murcialago LP640 for me to be forking out so much more for all the parts from Honda

Each to their own though
I beg to differ, especially with filters. I work in the filtration industry, and filters are not made in the same place. Our company has filters all made by our own factories in different locations around the world. And the same filter model with same micron rating have different performance characteristics, eventhough all the factories are ours with our specs. So imagine comparing an OEM to a 3rd party made filter. It would be different, either in performance, quality or both.

Also, a $20 difference over 4 years is nothing. I'd pay that extra $5 a year if it means going from 3rd party unknown to OEM. Rather have that than a stuffed up injector.
